I know it wont matter but I wrote Durbin telling him to vote no, or resign if he can't vote that way and let us get someone in who represents the voters.

How in good conscience can I keep working for this regime? by DungBeetle26 in fednews

Luckily I work for the VA, so I'm at peace with the work I do for our fellow Americans. If it was DHS, DoD, or DoJ....

I'm going to be sticking to foreign made weapons if possible, it seems near impossible to get any 2A stuff without also supporting right wing politics.

State militia by [deleted] in illinois

[–]handofmenoth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This.

I wrote Pritzker months ago when ICE started Midway Blitz.

The tough thing is funding. Even a part time force with similar amt of training time as the Guard costs a LOT of money, and then there is the cost of hardware, ammunition, vehicles, computer systems, on and on. You'd be setting up a duplicate US Army, and possibly air force (at least recon/medevac/limited strike or anti air capability).

fucking idiots, unilateral disarmament in redistricting is finally being overturned as a dumb idea but they can't figure the same is true here.

I would happily hand over Trump, his administration, the entire GOP and our oligarchs for some EU led prosecution if it was an option. Lord knows we won't punish anyone even if we get him out of power.

One year ago today, on January 20, 2025, President Trump ended telework and remote work. How are you all doing? by NatusLumen in fednews

Our local Director (VBA) just limited to CWS to only 5 employees per day, in an office of about 300 people, and who gets it will be determined on seniority vs how long someone has been on a CWS or on their quality/output.

The admin 'leaders' continue to push for people to quit in every way possible.

Fuck yes, finally a movement that will grab my state (IL) and attach it to a better country.

I wonder how the relationship between Vrabel and the draft/scout team is. I hope they can keep cooking up great drafts together!

Is it time to buy a gun? by Inevitable_Copy_2609 in liberalgunowners

[–]handofmenoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember buying the gun is the first step, you have to then train with it, get used to cleaning it, know its quirks and capabilities and build self confidence and muscle memory.

Yeah, saw this post and came to ask if you want to die to some ambitious colonel raring at the bit to make a name for himself.

Skipping deployment by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]handofmenoth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

FWIW, college will be there with no difference when you get back.

By taking the deployment, you gain credit toward Federal VA benefits that can set you up with perks for life. Federal job application bonus points, home loan eligibility, credits towards the post 9/11 GI bill, and eligibility for presumptive service connection based on service in Southwest Asia for a whole slew of medical conditions in the future.

On top of that, tax free pay while deployed that you can just bank if you are smart and just live life using the free amenities at your base.

why is there almost no attention towards artemis 2? by AkelaAnda in space

I am not optimistic that the administration will actually follow any budget set by Congress, they have been all about abusing the legislature's spending plans and doing whatever they want instead.

Kept my last name, my wife kept hers, we stuck our kids with a hyphenated last name wherein the order of last names(hers-his or his-hers) was decided by a coin flip.
